[Overview]
During Mesprit's entire stint in DPP, it suffered from generally being the least useful of the Sinnoh pixie trio, and unfortunately, not much changed for it going into BW barring the addition of Psyshock to its movepool. Mesprit is a Pokemon that can perform numerous roles effectively, but finds stiff competition in most of them as it lacks any exceptional stats. Though Mesprit has respectable bulk, its Psychic typing and lack of reliable recovery don't do it many favors defensively, allowing many attackers to wear it down. However, due to an incredibly expansive movepool coupled with solid defensive and attacking stats, Mesprit can still find a niche in the RU metagame.
 [SET] name: Calm Mind move 1: Calm Mind move 2: Psychic / Psyshock move 3: Thunderbolt move 4: Ice Beam / Substitute item: Life Orb / Leftovers nature: Timid evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
Although Mesprit's defensive typing isn't ideal, it can effectively utilize Calm Mind due to its great bulk and passable Special Attack. While there are a number of other Calm Mind users in RU, Mesprit differentiates itself from them with Psyshock and strong coverage attacks such as Ice Beam and Thunderbolt. Psychic is an obligatory high-powered STAB move, while Psyshock lets Mesprit punish special walls such as Munchlax. Substitute is an option over Ice Beam as it eases prediction and enables Mesprit to block status and Taunt. If you decide to use Substitute, the reason it should be used over Ice Beam as opposed to Thunderbolt is because Mesprit can't afford to lose coverage on a prominent threat such as Sharpedo.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
The EVs give Mesprit maximum Special Attack and Speed to increase its potency as a sweeper. A bulkier EV spread is viable, but Uxie arguably performs better with a bulky Calm Mind set. Charge Beam can be used over Thunderbolt for its chance to further increase Mesprit's Special Attack, but Mesprit is better off with Thunderbolt's reliability and initial power. Magic Coat can be used over Substitute to prevent phazing attempts from Munchlax and Drapion in addition to Taunt and status. If Mesprit isn't running Substitute, it becomes susceptible to status; in this case, a cleric is useful. Leafeon makes a good cleric for Mesprit as it can also supply Mesprit with Wishes, which are particularly useful if Mesprit is using Life Orb over Leftovers. Lanturn is another cleric to consider as it can spread paralysis, which can help Mesprit sweep as it doesn't have a way to boost its own Speed. Mesprit hates faster Pokemon that can KO it, such as Sharpedo, so Fighting-types make good teammates. Due to its impressive bulk, Poliwrath can take on Sharpedo and other Dark-types, while Mesprit can switch into Psychic-type attacks aimed at Poliwrath. Mesprit functions well with hazard support as with Stealth Rock and one layer of Spikes, it can 2HKO Munchlax, one of the most prominent special walls in RU, with a Life Orb Psyshock.
 [SET] name: Weather Support move 1: Rain Dance / Sunny Day move 2: Psychic move 3: Thunder move 4: Healing Wish / U-turn item: Damp Rock / Heat Rock nature: Modest evs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
With the absence of automatic weather inducers and the large number of viable weather abusers that reside in RU, reliable weather support can be valuable, and Mesprit does an admirable job of providing it. The premise of this set is simple: set up rain or sun for an abuser and either U-turn out to them or switch out to return mid-game to utilize Healing Wish. When considering Mesprit for your temporary weather inducer, you should consider the attributes that distinguish it from bulkier options such as Uxie. For one, Mesprit has an excellent offensive presence compared to Uxie, meaning it can maintain your team's offensive momentum as it is much more difficult to set up on. For instance, Mesprit can abuse a powerful, 100% accurate Thunder with Rain Dance. Thunder also has a 30% paralysis rate, which can prove useful for any of your sweepers looking to set up, or for Mesprit itself to compensate for its middling Speed. Psychic is a generally useful STAB attack which can be used to punish Fighting-types that Mesprit can switch into, such as Hitmonlee.

Perhaps Mesprit's biggest selling point when considering it for your temporary weather inducer is its ability to utilize either Healing Wish or U-turn to support incoming sweepers. Healing Wish is a rare move that gives Mesprit the perfect way to bow out: at the cost of all of Mesprit's HP, it can restore a teammate to its peak performance. U-turn is an option over Healing Wish if you have no desire to sacrifice Mesprit. Furthermore, due to Mesprit's rather mediocre Speed stat, when using U-turn, Mesprit will often take the hit instead of the incoming sweeper, which is excellent as that's what Mesprit is setting up weather for.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Heat Rock and Damp Rock are the primary items as they extend the duration of their respective weather, making each set up more worthwhile. Leftovers, however, can be used for survivability. Leftovers is generally better suited with U-turn as the recovery might go to waste when using Healing Wish. Thunder's accuracy is reduced to 50% under sunlight, so it is an ill-advised option on Sunny Day variants of this set. A suitable replacement could be Hidden Power Fire, as it is boosted by sun, or Ice Beam to deal with Dragon-types such as Altaria that can give sun teams problems. Safeguard is also a viable alternative on Sunny Day variants over Thunder, as it can shield your weather abusers from status.

Typical partners that should be paired up with this set are Pokemon that enjoy having their Fire- or Water-type attacks boosted by sun and rain, respectively. Emboar and Poliwrath are ideal partners; their secondary Fighting typing enables them to use Mesprit's weakness to Dark- and Bug-type attacks as an opportunity to safely switch in and set up. Emboar also suffers from recoil damage thanks to Flare Blitz and Wild Charge, which can be remedied with Healing Wish. You should also consider Pokemon with Swift Swim or Hydration for Rain Dance teams or Chlorophyll for Sunny Day teams. Kabutops is a vicious sweeper under rain, and it also shares excellent type synergy with Mesprit, which can sponge Fighting- and Ground-type attacks that are usually aimed at Kabutops. Sawsbuck is a great option to consider on sun teams, as it can take on some of Mesprit's checks such as Dark-types, as well as special walls such as Munchlax and Ferroseed, with Jump Kick.
 [SET] name: Trick Room move 1: Trick Room move 2: Psychic move 3: Ice Beam / Healing Wish move 4: Thunderbolt / Healing Wish item: Life Orb / Leftovers nature: Quiet evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA ivs: 0 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
With its respectable Special Attack and bulk, but lackluster Speed, Mesprit can function as a formidable Trick Room sweeper or a reliable supporter. Base 80 Speed may seem too fast for Trick Room, but Mesprit sits at a very convenient Speed tier with a Speed-hindering nature and 0 Speed IVs. Mesprit is able to outspeed every one of RU's offensive Pokemon with Trick Room up, along with most of RU's walls when Trick Room is not active. Mesprit's excellent defenses allow it to withstand most forms of priority unlike other Trick Room sweepers, such as Beheeyem. Thunderbolt and Ice Beam form the BoltBeam combination, which is only resisted by Magneton, Lanturn, and Shedinja. With such great coverage, Mesprit makes an excellent late-game sweeper, and usually has no problems against offensive teams once Trick Room is up. Psychic gets the nod over Psyshock as a reliable STAB attack, as Psyshock just doesn't hit hard enough without a boost.

Using Healing Wish sacrifices some of Mesprit's sweeping capabilities in exchange for the luxury of fully restoring a teammate's HP, perhaps giving it another chance at sweeping. Healing Wish should preferably be used over either Thunderbolt or Ice Beam, as Mesprit's Special Attack isn't phenomenal so it will have trouble sweeping with two non-STAB attacks, regardless of their coverage. Using Healing Wish over Thunderbolt means Mesprit loses notable coverage on Steel-types such as Aggron and Klinklang along with Sharpedo, while using it over Ice Beam means Mesprit is walled by Claydol and Ferroseed. Life Orb gives Mesprit more of a sweeper role, and should be used with 3 attacks to capitalize on Mesprit's power and coverage, while Leftovers is the preferred item on dedicated Trick Room teams so that Mesprit has more opportunities to set up Trick Room for teammates before Healing Wish is used.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
With Trick Room making up for Mesprit's Speed issues, it can fully invest in bulk and Special Attack. The EVs, IVs, and nature minimize Mesprit's Speed, which enables it to outspeed more foes under Trick Room. Investing fully into HP and Defense is an option, but you are better off using Uxie for setting up Trick Room with a fully defensive EV spread. Psyshock can be used over Psychic, but it doesn't hit hard enough without any stat boosts. This set is best paired with slow, hard-hitting Pokemon; Aggron is an ideal teammate as it hits extremely hard and will able to outspeed most of RU with the dimensions twisted. Your opponent will also likely be hesitant to attack with Ground- or Fighting-type attacks with Mesprit on the field, allowing a safe switch into Aggron. Emboar is another good slow, hard-hitting partner, as it helps beat down special walls that will get in the way of a Mesprit sweep and can switch into Dark- and Bug-type attacks aimed at Mesprit. Another Trick Room sweeper such as Cofagrigus can prove useful alongside Mesprit so it won't have to take a hit setting up Trick Room for itself, and vice versa. Mesprit generally enjoys hazard support to assist its sweep. Aggron makes a good Stealth Rock user, as it can set up on the special walls Mesprit lures in. Mesprit can also take on physical walls that get in Aggron's way, such as Gligar and Sandslash.
 [SET] name: Choice move 1: Psychic / Psyshock move 2: Thunderbolt move 3: Ice Beam move 4: Trick / U-turn item: Choice Specs / Choice Scarf nature: Timid / Modest evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
With a Choice Scarf or Choice Specs equipped, Mesprit can improve either its average Speed or Special Attack. Mesprit makes an excellent user of Choice Specs as they give it greater wallbreaking capabilities, and with Mesprit's good bulk, it can take strong hits while dishing them out. A Choice Scarf enables Mesprit to outrun a large portion of the unboosted metagame and capitalize on its great coverage by revenge killing threats such as Sceptile and +1 Sharpedo. Psychic is the STAB move of choice for its high Base Power. Psyshock is an option, as it allows Mesprit to dispatch special walls, but it should only be used with Choice Specs, as it doesn't hit hard enough without any boosts. Thunderbolt and Ice Beam give Mesprit superb BoltBeam coverage, which allows it to revenge kill most of the metagame efficiently should it be carrying a Choice Scarf. Trick allows Mesprit to cripple a wall, most notably Munchlax and Ferroseed, which will not only be locked into moves but also stripped of their defensive boost granted by Eviolite, which Mesprit or other teammates can take advantage of. U-turn, on the other hand, allows Mesprit to scout switch-ins and maintain offensive momentum. U-turn also deals a fair amount of damage to frail Dark-types such as Absol that hope to safely switch into Psychic.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Timid is the primary nature as it allows Mesprit to Speed tie with max Speed base 80s such as Altaria, Braviary, Gallade, Gardevoir, Kabutops, and Medicham. However, a Modest nature can be used for more power if your team has reliable means of dealing with the aforementioned base 80 Speed Pokemon. Rapid Spin support is recommended as Mesprit will switch out a lot due to either being locked into an unfavorable move or using U-turn. Hitmonlee makes a good spinner for Mesprit as the two can beat a lot of each other's checks; Hitmonlee beats Sucker Punch users such as Absol and special walls such as Ferroseed and Munchlax, while Mesprit can eliminate physical walls such as Tangrowth, Claydol, and Gligar. Wish support can prove useful as this Mesprit has no form of recovery, barring receiving Leftovers through Trick. Clefable makes a good Wish passer to use with Mesprit as it can also provide Stealth Rock, which will help Mesprit secure more KOs in general, in addition to applying offensive pressure on the opponent should Mesprit be using U-turn.
 [Other Options]
With Mesprit's expansive movepool, there are many options to consider, but they are usually outclassed by other Pokemon or moves. Mesprit can put together a physical Choice Band or Choice Scarf set consisting of Zen Headbutt, U-turn, and two elemental punches, but barring U-turn this set is generally outclassed by Medicham or Gallade, as former hits much harder due to Pure Power and the latter has access to useful priority in Shadow Sneak. A dual screens set with Healing Wish is an option, but it is generally outclassed by the faster and bulkier Uxie. To compensate for Mesprit's average Speed, Thunder Wave can be used over Trick Room. Toxic can also be used to wear down walls such as Munchlax. Because Mesprit lacks reliable recovery, a mono-attacking RestTalk set with Calm Mind and a Psychic-type attack can be used, but Mesprit's Psychic typing hinders its ability to live through all of the sleep turns. Knock Off can be used to strip Munchlax or Ferroseed of their Eviolite, but the two still have the bulk and typing to wall Mesprit and Knock Off has little use otherwise. Shadow Ball, Grass Knot, and Water Pulse are all options on offensive sets, but Mesprit does fine with BoltBeam coverage.
 [Checks and Counters]
Thanks to the immense bulk it receives through Eviolite, Munchlax can shut down the special Choice set and the Calm Mind set. Even at +1, Psyshock doesn't OHKO Munchlax, which can phaze Mesprit out or cripple it though Body Slam's paralysis rate. Munchlax can even handle physical variants of Mesprit to an extent, as its Thick Fat ability grants it resistances to Fire Punch and Ice Punch. Ferroseed can stop most Mesprit sets thanks to its impressive bulk and resistance to Mesprit's Pyschic-type attacks, but it must be cautious of Fire Punch or Trick, which will hinder Ferroseed's ability to wall. Sigilyph can reliably beat Mesprit one-on-one thanks to Stored Power raising Sigilyph's defenses. Due to Roost temporarily getting rid of Sigilyph's Flying typing, Mesprit won't be able to break through Sigilyph with Ice- or Electric-type attacks while Sigilyph can stall out Mesprit with burn damage. Sharpedo is a decent check as it is immune to Psychic-type attacks, resists Ice Beam, and can pummel Mesprit with Crunch. Drapion will give Mesprit's Calm Mind set problems as it is immune to Mesprit's Psychic-type STAB moves and can take any of Mesprit's other attacks due to its base 100 Special Defense. Drapion can also threaten Mesprit with a Dark-type STAB atack or simply use Whirlwind and remove any of Mesprit's boost. Magneton is an excellent check to Mesprit as it resists every attack on Mesprit's specially based sets and generally doesn't mind receiving a Choice Scarf or Choice Specs through Trick.

Britain actually had a good deal with the EU. They've screwed it up now. They're going to have all the disadvantages of being outside of the EU and none of the advantages.
London is going to see a lot of its prime finance jobs migrate to the likes of Paris and Frankfurt in the coming years. In fact, I'm sure the finance sectors of those cities (which have long envied London for its finance industry) are quietly celebrating today, because they know they stand to gain from Brexit.
By the way, the Brexit vote means that Scotland is going to go its own way. Scotland wants its independence and it wants to remain part of the EU. Any Brit who doesn't see this is deluding themselves. The U.K. is no more. For that reason alone, its clear that the Brexit vote is an enormous fiasco for the U.K.Marc McDonaldhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-62266413970948766862016-06-27T09:02:17.207-05:002016-06-27T09:02:17.207-05:00Brexit: Aftermath | Paul Joseph Watson and Stefan ...Brexit: Aftermath | Paul Joseph Watson and Stefan Molyneux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbZ9EIOQzXUEdhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-77284831236780395932016-06-19T00:25:48.930-05:002016-06-19T00:25:48.930-05:00Hi Gilbert, right on.

Are you trying to blame Obama for the crash of the Wall Street banks? I don't know what Rush told you about this, but this happened under Bush.
And who, exactly, "gutted" the military? Both Democrats and GOP presidents in the modern era have thrown trillions of dollars into the Military Industrial Complex (which is not to be confused with the men and women who serve in the armed forced (and who are, for the most part, vastly underpaid for what they do).
By the way, Obama is now embarking on a gigantic trillion-dollar upgrade of U.S. nuclear missile systems (although this has gotten little attention in the corporate media). One could argue whether this upgrade is necessary. But one thing I know is that it isn't going to protect the homeland from boxcutter-wielding terrorists who want to hijack our airliners.
By the way, I'm just a nobody who worked his way up from dirt poverty with zero help from anyone (least of all, the government).

You know, there may well be music being made today that is just as great as the likes of primetime Clash, Pistols, The Jam, The Specials, etc. But I've listened to a lot of new music and I just don't find it as worthwhile. In fact, I pretty much lost interest in rock and now I usually listen to stuff like free jazz, old blues, and experimental music. Every now and then, I'll find a "new" gem like Ya Ho Wa 13---but that's a band that recorded in the early 70s and most of us never heard of them back in the day.
And actually, The Clash, against all odds, did get some airtime back in the early 1980s. I recall hearing the likes of "I Fought the Law," "Train in Vain" and "Lost in the Supermarket" quite a bit on my local radio station. And, of course, "Rock the Casbah" was a huge hit. Sadly, nothing from The Clash's first two stellar albums ever got much airtime.Marc McDonaldhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-7464632528543529152016-05-12T07:50:55.885-05:002016-05-12T07:50:55.885-05:00Jeebus, man.

re:
>>Trump is actually to her left on foreign policy, free trade, and possibly even
>>corruption

One reason that I find it hard to hate Trump is that I actually greatly admire him for standing on a high-profile GOP debate stage and slamming Bush and the decision to invade Iraq. I've been waiting for a long time for a Republican to say that. These bastards need to own up to this fiasco and they need to apologize to the American people.

Meanwhile, Hillary voted for the measure that enabled Bush to invade Iraq. A lot of people on the Left have never forgiven her for that.

Yes, I realize this is only one issue. But to me and a lot of other people, it's a very important issue. America as a whole needs to face up to what it did. We need to hold trials and convict these war criminals. Yeah, I know, I'm fantasizing---but for me, the next best thing was Trump slamming Bush's decision to invade. Frankly that took guts---and it's made it hard for me to hate the guy.

Unless America faces up to the reality of what it did in Iraq, it'll be much more likely that we won't learn from this catastrophic mistake---and there will be more Iraqs in the future.Marc McDonaldhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-35984100879448373322016-05-03T19:52:46.698-05:002016-05-03T19:52:46.698-05:00The problem is that there will always be Supreme C...The problem is that there will always be Supreme Court positions during a presidency.

Personally, I'd recommend going Green like crazy:
https://www.salon.com/2016/01/17/fine_give_the_gop_four_years_the_liberal_case_for_either_bernie_sanders_or_electing_a_republican_president/

The other reason is that Clinton, if she wins, will not be able to draw the kind of Progressive support Obama did in 2008. At best, she would draw the level Obama did in 2012. There is also the possibility that in November 2016, she may hand over the victory to Trump altogether, because he ends up drawing record numbers of working class white voters. There are also large numbers angry Sanders supporters who, if the Bernie or Bust movement gains popularity, may go Green or write-in Sanders.

Let's say she wins. The Democratic Party is from out of the woods in that case. Then the Democratic Party would likely get mauled in the 2018 midterms, and Clinton would be exposed, making her very vulnerable in 2020. The problem is that if the Democratic Party loses 2020, it is a census year as the article notes. Her true colors will show pretty quickly like Obama's - Trump is actually to her left on foreign policy, free trade, and possibly even corruption.

A Sanders victory would be far more likely to get more Progressives out to vote during the midterms and likely in 2020. The reason is because of the fact that he will be trying to get things done vs the image of Clinton. Note how Obama's ratings have gone up in the past year due to his efforts to appoint a Justice and his use of executive order more frequently. A Sanders or similar Progressive would likely do the same from day one (or be forced to anyways because the GOP will bring the US Congress to a total halt).

Finally, Garland, Obama's appointee is not as left wing as some people think.
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2016/03/17/3761337/merrick-garland-isnt-especially-liberal-heres-what-that-means-for-how-hell-decide-cases/

A Clinton presidency is likely to appoint similar justices, perhaps even more right wing. That is a huge problem. Here I think Sanders would do much better, albeit be bitterly opposed by the Republicans every step of the way.AltandMainhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-60294331495032882002016-05-02T23:37:40.028-05:002016-05-02T23:37:40.028-05:00Hi Karlo, thanks for your comment. re: >>the...Hi Karlo, thanks for your comment.

Yes, I have no doubt of this. But I will say one thing: every time I start thinking that Hillary isn't worth casting a ballot for, I just remember two words: Supreme Court. Even if she does nothing else as president, I'd certainly rather have her making Supreme Court nominees than the GOP. A President Cruz or Trump could tilt the court so far right that America would be unrecognizable as a nation within a decade.

No doubt about it, he is a racist, a sexist, and alarmingly authoritarian in many ways. Compare that though to a pro-war, pro-free trade, Goldman Sachs candidate - namely Clinton, and you have a serious argument that Progressives should vote Green or write in Sanders.

The Democrats had their chance with Bernie Sanders. They could have recaptured a huge portion of the working class white vote that has defected over, especially those who were hit the worst by the economy. Likewise, they could have captured many independents. He really connected to the left and is a rare person of integrity.

Oh, and the Democratic leadership seem to be doing everything possible to alienate my generation, from calling us "Bernie Bros" to treating us younger people with total contempt. They are unworthy to govern. I'm not an American, but I think that it is so sad that people did not vote for Sanders.

For decades, the Democratic Party seems to have taken left wing votes for granted. Clinton continues to do so, trying to use feminism and identity politics to cover up for her campaign contributions, pro-war, and pro-free trade record, while saying what she thinks voters want to hear. She will no doubt try to ramp up the "lesser evil" stuff soon enough. It's not too different from how the GOP uses religion, sexism, guns, and racism to distract people, while screwing them on economic issues.

I think that voting Green out of protest may be the only real option, especially when Sanders loses, which judging by the math seems inevitable (although the game was pretty rigged).

IEC looking to sell its MVNO IEC3GWritten by Yozzo
In a bid to strengthening their portfolio, IEC is looking to invite interested parties to acquire IEC's Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) "IEC3G", including the license and the current subscribers. Optional offers could include database, servers, call-center and billing-system.
IEC3G is a MVNO running under IEC Technology Co., Ltd. (IECT), a subsidiary of IEC. The MVNO has been granted a Type 1 Telecom License (without own network), by the NBTC and operates on TOT3G 2100 MHz – the network of TOT Public Company Limited.
In 2010 the company was approved by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to conduct Non Facilities Based MVNO -Thin MVNO, and IEC3G was one of the initial first five MVNO's to be granted a MVNO license in Thailand.
The initial goal for the MVNO was 300,000 3G subscribers during the first six months of operation. The company reportedly spent THB 50 million (U$1,560,000) on service development.
In 2010 the company informed that, due to only 548 Base-station and thus low network coverage in Bangkok and vicinities including low signal quality in buildings, IEC3G was unable to achieve its marketing objectives. Despite, they did however manage to collect over 30,000 subscribers in 2010.
At the end of 2012 the company informed that IEC3G would be unsuccessful to achieve as planned due to the circumstance of limited area coverage as TOT3G continued to struggle expanding its nationwide coverage and put off indoor blind spots, resulting in approximate 8,000 active subscriber for IEC3G.
As of September 2013 the MVNO has 7500+ active subscribers.

Program works with Amish in southern Indiana to improve breeding conditions
While Amish breeders are notorious for running puppy mills, some of those in southern Indiana are working with Purdue University's Center for Animal Welfare Science to improve their breeding practices and, in the process, their reputations.
"It was time that we as breeders recognize that there are professionals out there that can help us and we need to involve them in our businesses," said Levi Graber, a member of Odon's Amish community who helps several breeders in the area.
Though the Amish aren't known for reaching out, or letting people in, Graber contacted the university a few years ago about improving Amish-run breeding operations in the region. That led to a pilot program in which the operations are reviewed, and suggestions are made on how to improve them.
Already, those behind the program say, they've found that improving conditions and practices at the kennels leads to happier, healthier, better behaved dogs.
Under the program, which is open to non-Amish breeders as well, a set of voluntary standards will be created for breeders to follow, according to the Lafayette Journal & Courier.
"Many folks hear about breeding and animal welfare and they don't know what (breeders) actually do. They just want to put them out of business," said Purdue's Candace Croney, director of the animal welfare center.
Most dogs she and her team of researchers have observed have been in good physical health, Croney said, but some had room for improvement in their behavior. Some facilities' dogs were loud and dogs became over-excited when they saw people, which Croney said indicated they weren't used to seeing people often.
The research team advised those breeders to make sure something positive happens for the dogs, such as receiving a treat, every time someone comes into the kennel area. They also suggested letting the dogs out in the yard daily to exercise and socialize.
The changes made a big impact, Croney said. Over four months, the dogs in the kennel with the most behavioral issues became calmer when they saw people, and they physically looked better.
"We've seen a very positive impact on some of the things she recommends," Graber said. "I've seen more contented, happy dogs."
Once the trial program is complete, a third party will audit the breeders' practices, Croney said.
Breeders who qualify will receive a certification that she said goes beyond the standards mandated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which cover areas such as housing, sanitation, food, water and protection against extreme weather and temperatures.
Graber said the community feels fortunate to work with Purdue and emphasized that the breeders don't want to sell puppies that disappoint anyone.
Not all Amish-run breeding operations are like those that end up on the news, noted Dale Blier, who works for Blue Ribbon Vet & Supply in Odon and sells supplies to many breeders in town.
"The majority of dog breeders in Indiana treat their dogs the same way they treat making furniture: They want to be the best at it they can," he said.

Bet your dog's wardrobe doesn't have this …
Even if you consider your dog the best-dressed canine on the planet, he or she probably doesn't have one of these — a Soviet-made, late 1950's-era doggie spacesuit.
If your dog simply must have this corset-like, lace-up, oxygen tube-included piece of Sputnik couture, be prepared to bid (in the neighborhood of $10,000) at an upcoming auction to be held in Berlin on Sept. 13. (If you can't make it to Berlin, absentee bids can be made online.)
According to the website Auctionata, the suit was likely worn by USSR space dogs Belka and Strelka during training sessions for the Korabl-Sputnik 2 mission.
It was made — from cotton, nylon, aluminium, rubber and laces — by RSC Energia, the largest Russian manufacturer of spacecraft and space station components.
Only a small number of the dog spacesuits have survived, and this one is said to be in good condition, according to the auctioneers. The spacesuit is now the property of Collection Andora, in Germany.
Dogs played a key role in the Soviet space program. While the U.S. used chimpanzees to see if humans could survive the effects of being rocketed into space, Russia opted for dogs.
Laika, a Russian dog, became the first animal to orbit Earth in 1957, though he died during the mission from stress and overheating.
Belka and Strelka returned to Earth safely after spending a day in space in 1960.

LAX dogs provide different kind of security
From an Irish wolfhound named Finn to a Rottweiler named Maggie Mae, 29 dogs of various breeds are providing a different kind of security for travelers at Los Angeles International Airport.
The dogs have been comforting frazzled travelers for a year now, through a program called PUP, or Pets Unstressing Passengers.
Finn started last November, the day after a gunman opened fire at Terminal 3 and left a Transportation Security Administration officer dead, according to the Los Angeles Times
"I think after the shooting, Finn attracted attention because he represented something comforting," owner Brian Valente said in an airport statement. "As passengers asked questions about Finn and started to pet him, I could see their bodies relax and their demeanors change."
The one-year anniversary of the program was marked yesterday at a meeting of the L.A. Board of Airport Commissioners.
The dogs all wear bright red vests, and mingle with passengers in post-security-screening areas. The program is aimed at reducing the anxiety of travelers by letting them pet and play with the dogs.
The dogs are registered with Therapy Dogs, a national organization that supports pets that visit places such as hospitals, nursing homes and other special needs centers.
To see more of the dogs, click here.

Beloved BBC dog Mabel passes away
After 14 years on the world's longest running children program, Mabel, a border collie mix, has died.
Seen by millions of children on "Blue Peter," Mabel was the BBC program's first rescue dog.
"She was dearly loved and that's a credit to her quirky character. She'll be sorely missed by the presenters and viewers alike," said Helen Skelton, one of the program's co-hosts.
Mabel, who retired last year, was the second-longest serving dog on the show. Another, named Petra, appeared on the show for 15 years.
Her death came barely a month after the death of her canine co-star Lucy, according to the Daily Mail.
Mabel was originally featured on the program in 1996 when then presenter Katy Hill met her while making a film about the RSPCA. She joined the show a month later. Her name came from the letters MAB1 which were written on her RSPCA kennel.
Mabel, who was thought to be 16, was notable for her different colored eyes – one brown, one blue – and a folded-over ear. She starred alongside 14 different presenters in hundreds of studio shows.
After retirement, she lived with a former member of the show's production team
The BBC show's presenters announced the news about the border collie to viewers last night.

Overdue: Yale law library tries therapy dog
At the Yale University Law Library, you can check out "Legal Alchemy: The Use and Misuse of Science in the Law." You can check out "The Supreme Court A to Z: A Ready Reference Encyclopedia."
Or, you can check out Monty, a terrier mix whose mission, in an experimental program started this month, is to de-stress, during final exam time, the litigators of tomorrow.
You'd think a genius farm like Yale University would have figured out sooner — as some smaller and lesser known colleges have — that dogs can, physically and emotionally, help students through troubled or stressful times.
But, for the school whose mascot is an English bulldog named Handsome Dan, it's better late than never.
In the pilot program, students can check out Monty — a 21-pound "certified library therapy dog" who provides 30-minute sessions of what ABCNews describes as "unconditional, stress-busting puppy love."
"The interest in available slots has been high," said Jan Conroy, a spokeswoman for Yale Law School.
In a March 10 memo, law librarian Blair Kauffman said she hoped the free, three-day pilot pet therapy program would be "a positive addition to current services offered by the library … It is well documented that visits from therapy dogs have resulted in increased happiness, calmness and overall emotional well-being." The memo directed students to the website of Therapy Dogs International for more information.
The school has yet to decide if the program will be ongoing. Likely, it being Yale Law School, there are liability concerns — the type that are known to paralyze bureaucracies and often limit the good dogs can do, based on mostly baseless fears.
Monty, for example, though he is said to be hypoallergenic, will hold his visits in a "designated non-public space" in the library to eliminate "potential adverse reactions from any library user who might have dog-related concerns."
Concerns have also been expressed about the sign-up list for Monty being in a visible spot. That, the overly fearful fear, results in students having to expose their need for a mental health session — or at least some time with a dog — in public.
Monty — whose full name is General Montgomery — belongs to librarian Julian Aiken. And the pilot program got started after a Yale legal blog jokingly suggested making Monty available for checkout.
Therapy dogs have been introduced at Tufts University in Massachusetts, Oberlin College in Ohio and UC San Diego to help students get through the pressures of mid-terms and finals.

BARCS to be part of pit bull project
Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (BARCS) is one of five shelters that will take part in a pilot program aimed at reducing euthanasia of pit bulls, encouraging responsible ownership and improving the perception of the breed.
A $240,000 grant from PetSmart Charities will fund the programs, coordinated by Best Friends Animal Society.
The grant was announced last week in Las Vegas at Best Friends' annual No More Homeless Pets Conference.
The "Shelter Partners for Pit Bulls Project" will create partnerships between Best Friends and shelters in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., Baltimore, Md., Washington, D.C., Carlsbad, Calif. and Tampa, Fla.
All will be based on the partnership between Best Friends and Salt Lake County Animal Services that began in July 2009. It resulted in a 10 percent drop in euthanasia of pit bull-type dogs in its first year, and led to twice as many being adopted as the previous year.
The Salt Lake program, which will serve as a model for the new pilot projects, offers community education and free or low-cost training and spaying and neutering — all aimed at keeping pets in the family and reduce the numbers being abandoned.
The program uses volunteers, called the "Pit Crew," to showcases dogs for adoption through outreach events, photos and descriptions online and also fosters dogs whose time is up in the shelter. There also is emphasis on creating frequent media opportunities to portray pit bull-type dogs in a positive light–to counter the image of the breed often presented in the news.
Funds provided by PetSmart Charities and additional funds from Best Friends will be used to pay for a shelter coordinator in each city, support marketing and public relations in those markets, and pay for a Best Friends program manager to oversee implementation and reporting in the five shelters.
"As with any dog that is spayed or neutered, properly trained, socialized and treated with love and kindness, pit bull-type dogs can be well adjusted, happily balanced, and affectionate members of the family," says Jamie Healy, Shelter Partners for Pit Bulls manager. "It's the person on the other end of the leash who decides how their dog interacts with others and who sometimes put these dogs at the wrong side of the law."
Best Friends Animal Society works to help pit bulls through its national campaign, Pit Bulls: Saving America's Dog, which helps dogs who are battling everything from a sensationalized reputation to legislation designed to bring about their extinction.

Program pairs trainers with problem dogs
Behavior problems are the main reason dogs end up in shelters, the main reason they get returned, and the main reason that some of them never get out.
So it only makes sense that helping dogs and the families that adopt them resolve those issues would lead to far more happier endings and far fewer dogs being put down.
Realizing that, Best Friends Animal Society in Utah has developed a new program in conjunction with the Monmouth County SPCA that matches dog trainers with shelters and families whose dogs have behavioral issues.
Sam Wike, the first trainer accepted into the program, is shown in this video working with Rufus, one of the first dogs referred by Best Friends' Community Training Partner program. Wike is the lead trainer at Purr'n Pooch, a pet boarding/training/grooming facility in New Jersey.
Rufus, who was in the Monmouth County SPCA, needed a "finishing school" environment in order to be ready to be adopted, Best Friends says. Now he's completed the training and is ready for adoption.
The main goal of the program is to lower the number of dogs returned to shelters and to counsel people considering relinquishing their dogs because of behavior issues.
When a family comes into the shelter to turn in their dog, a staff counselor sits down with them, and talks through the reasons the family is considering giving up their pet. Owners then are offered the option of training and behavior modification for their dogs, which is funded through the Best Friends program.
"We started this January working with the staff and we've also initiated doggy play groups with the shelter dogs," Wike said. "The play groups help the dogs to learn how to interact appropriately with other dogs. The dogs burn off excess energy romping with each other and it's a great showcase for their personalities when potential adopters come by the shelter," Wike said.

Formation of 1D Hierarchical Structures Composed of Ni3S2 Nanosheets on CNTs Backbone for Supercapacitors and Photocatalytic H2 Production
One-dimensional (1D) hierarchical structures composed of Ni3S2 nanosheets grown on carbon nanotube (CNT) backbone (denoted as CNT@Ni3S2) are fabricated by a rational multi-step transformation route. The first step involves coating the CNT backbone with a layer of silica to form CNT@SiO2, which serves as the substrate for the growth of nickel silicate (NiSilicate) nanosheets in the second step to form CNT@SiO2@NiSilicate core-double shell 1D structures. Finally the as-formed CNT@SiO2@NiSilicate 1D structures are converted into CNT-supported Ni3S2 nanosheets via hydrothermal treatment in the presence of Na2S. Simultaneously the intermediate silica layer is eliminated during the hydrothermal treatment, leading to the formation of CNT@Ni3S2 nanostructures. Because of the unique hybrid nano-architecture, the as-prepared 1D hierarchical structure is shown to exhibit excellent performance in both supercapacitors and photocatalytic H2 production.

What "void"? It's not true. I've just called Olympus and spoke with a repair Tech and was told the price of a cleaning an E-1 is $59 and the most they'll charge for a repair is $240, So I don't know where you got the news that they don't repair the E-1 they even still repair the E-330 (I asked).

Connection issuesI got this as a gift 5 months ago. It worked great for the first 2 months. Then I started having connectivity issues. I tried multiple settings, which worked for a couple of days, and then it again stopped working. I tried reaching out to their support centers, but the numbers listed were either old or non-existent. On calling the belkin office, they suggested that I register a complaint by sending email ... to which I didn't get any responses.

Exteremely Disappointing Product from BelkinI have been using this router for the past 24 hours after receiving delivery. I bought it to hopefully replace the router provided by MTNL.In the past 24 hours i had to make 5 calls to Belkin support because the router disconnects constantly. You have to restart the router to get a connection. It is very frustrating I have already switched back to the old router provided by mtnl and it works fine so there is no issue with the line. It is the Belkin router which is flawed. My advice give this router a miss to avoid a headache.

Best modem router at all.I have purchased many modem routers before like asus, netgear etc. but those are not passable to this router modem. This is the best modem so far. It has a beautiful design. My old asus dsl-n10 never connected to the internet for 10 minutes continuously but this modem never cuts from the internet from the day I connected it first time. I think this is the best modem in this price range.

Poor ServiceI bought a Belkin N150 Wireless Modem Router recently. Unfortunately I lost the bill and the device stopped working after 3 months. I carried it to their authorized service centre but told me that they cannot service it without proof of warranty even after I told them I am ready to pay for the repairs. I called the Belkin toll free number- got the same reply. Deeply disappointed with belkin service.

Don't go for thisI bought this Modem quite a while ago and it worked exactly for a month. In that too i have to restart it at least 10 times inorder to make it to work. Initially i thought that the problem was with the provider. But, later i figured that this modem has an issue. Belkin people asked me to return this modem , they said that there is a problem with this version and the design and gave me another modem the same N150 but it's not a standing one. So far i didn't face any kind of problems with the new one. My suggestion is please don't go for this design in N150 alone take the sitting modem itself.

About the Author
Georgia Byng grew up outside Winchester, in England, near the river Itchen, with three naughty brothers and a sister. Her dad was nature loving and her mum was very encouraging and warm. The nearby country lane with its many cottages was somewhere Georgia first found out about characters, for it was teeming with them, and she used to interview them. Otherwise she would try to sell these neighbours things she had made.
As a child she loved acting and so at 18 went to The Central School of Speech and Drama in London. After college she began to paint and write.
Her first were in comic strip, a medium that she worked with for five years. The Sock Monsters was her first published book in 1995 - a comic strip story for 5 - 7 year olds.
Georgia lives in a house in London full of old and new art, as her husband is the conceptual artist Marc Quinn. Marc keeps all sorts of strange things in the fridge - once he had to keep a Canadian frog in there as it was hibernating and had to be kept cold. They and their family, Tiger (17), Lucas (6) and Sky (2) love to travel, their favorite destination being India.

Sometimes, to lose something is to find something. In Molly's newest adventure, she's certainly trying to find something. When things left off, Molly learned a stunning secret about her past, and someone she never knew. This time around, she's trying to find that person, but their fate is something worse than she ever imagined and it's going to take some new power and all of her daring and her courage to unravel this plot.
The opening of the book sees Molly feeling somewhat depressed. Let's just say that she's grown somewhat used to the idea of settling into something resembling a normal life and isn't eager to place herself or those she loves in more danger. But ultimately Molly does what it is right. And the fact that this is *her* adventure sets a different tone from the past stories, when she was rather dragged into danger. Let's just say that Molly is finally taking control of her destiny. And once again, her friend Rocky is along to help her, as is her precious pug, Petula, who must also find new depths of courage and power if they're all to survive this journey.
The story zips along, making for another exciting read. This story features a fun new cast of characters, with some unexpected reversals and twists. Just what is this mysterious mind-machine hinted at in the title? And how will Molly's thrilling new power manifest itself? You'll have to read to find out!
So what's next for Molly? Teleportation? Some other power we can't even imagine? I can't read minds myself, so I can only guess, but I'll be eagerly waiting for Molly's next adventure.
Molly, Rocky and Petula travel back in time to the hospital where the twins were born. Present-day Molly has no trouble finding herself and her twin brother or spotting the moment he is taken from the nursery. But the kidnapper is a skilled time-traveler, and to save her brother, Molly and her friends have to travel hundreds of years into the future. There they find Micky Minus, as the twin was named by his captor, hostage of the evil Princess Fang who forces him to study science and philosophy only to suck out his knowledge with a giant mind machine.
The action is swift and non-stop as Molly tries to free her brother from Princess Fang's clutches. She meets up with a sympathetic nurse and a mutated and ousted royal family who lend their help. But are they a match for the demented child princess who has hypnotized an entire country and brutalized countless others? Along the way Molly discovers she has the power to read minds, which, along with the help of the quirky supporting cast, just may save them all.
Molly is brave but humble, a heroine of character and kindness. Her adversary, Princess Fang, is cruel and bizarre and a great villain to root against. MOLLY MOON, MICKY MINUS AND THE MIND MACHINE is a fabulously irresistible page-turner --- a fun and action-packed story about family, friendship and the powers residing in even the most unlikely child.

Draft day is here in Major League Baseball. There hasn't been a lot of hype, most likely because there is no Stephen Strasburg or Bryce Harper waiting to be selected No. 1 overall. Since there is no lock, that increases the likelihood of a bust at No. 1 overall. Before the Diamondbacks…
